Just saw this on Fox News.

Sorry - I couldn't bypass the 30 second advertisement.
The Obama administration seems to be pushing regulations (without any input from congress) to effectively ban semi-auto weapons that can be converted to auto fire. You would need a $200 license from BATFE to own an AK-47. Or an M1 Carbine. Or most of the M16 clones!!

It is just the beginning. The next shoe to drop may be a push to approve the UN Arms Trade Treaty. The NRA/ILA has described the most recently proposed draft of that abomination as follows:
"Anti-gun treaty proponents continue to mislead the public, claiming the treaty would have no impact on American gun owners. That's a bald-faced lie. For example, the most recent draft treaty includes export/import controls that would require officials in an importing country to collect information on the 'end user' of a firearm, keep the information for 20 years, and provide the information to the country from which the gun was exported. In other words, if you bought a Beretta shotgun, you would be an 'end user' and the U.S. government would have to keep a record of you and notify the Italian government about your purchase. That is gun registration. If the U.S. refuses to implement this data collection on law-abiding American gun owners, other nations might be required to ban the export of firearms to the U.S."

I hope the house can kill most of that nonsense, and I hope there're enough oath abiding members in the senate to stop the NWO treaties, like Agenda 21 and ATT. I gave my boys inexpensive surplus bolt guns to go with their SKS and 12 ga long guns. I'm clinging to my 75 cal Brown Bess flintlock...oh wait, that's a military style musket.

Hi,
Forgive me if this is being posted in the wrong area but I just can across a great news clip about a homeower who stopped a burglary where the criminal actually called 911 on the home owner.

Buffalo:
That link brings to mind a report I posted to the Forum some three years ago. I still find it to be hilarious and gratifying.

One of my retired "Company" friends just sent me this notice which was supposedly posted recently on "Craig's List." I've never even logged in to "Craig's List" and in any event have no idea as to the bona fides of the notice. However, even it's a work of fiction it provided a good laugh on a rainy Sunday morning here in East Tennessee:

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in
Downtown * * * Night Before Last.
I was the guy with the black leather jacket that you demanded I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to apologize.
I didn't expect you to crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside.
You see, my girlfriend had bought me that 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it? I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again.
I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Mom" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself and four other people in the gas station this morning a tank full of gas on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by The Mission, along with all of the cash in your wallet.
After wiping them all down, I threw the wallet and phone in a fancy pink "pimp mobile" parked at the curb after I broke the side window out and keyed the driver's side. If you see that car around town, you can ask the driver about getting them back. But before that I had called a whole bunch of phone sex numbers from your cellphone. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. After a number of calls, Ma Bell suddenly deactivated the line, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service.
I'd also like to apologize for making you walk back home humiliated, but that was probably better than being shot. Anyway, I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky.
P.S. Remember this motto...... an armed society is a polite society!

Richard,
I don't know if that mugging post is true or false, but you're right... I laughed until it hurt!
Thanks for sharing
